Real View Intro: Hello ladies and gentlemen; this week the BBU PPV took place, we had two title fights on the card (keep your eyes out for next month for the BBU bantamweight title to be defended.) It was an event full of drama. We can't go over every bout sadly but we will try to get four interesting bouts and see how those effect the BBU going forwards.
As always we recommend that if you haven't read the bouts from this past week that you go look them up. We will of course be spoiling them in our reviews. While also you will be robbing yourself the enjoyment of wonderfully written fights.
We hope that you have a wonderful weekend, let's try to give you a fun start to your Sunday.

Part 1: BBU JMDD title bout - Kelly Brook Vs Hailey Clauson We kick off this week's show by looking at a hard hitting JMDD title bout that headlined this month's BBU PPV. Kelly Brook looked to take the JMDD title from Hailey Clauson. Did Kelly add to her already amazing legacy or did Hailey prove that she is the best between them?
See Kelly and Hailey certainly have history together. Back in 2019 when Hailey was starting to move through the rankings, she earned a BBU JMDD title bout against a certain Kelly Brook. That night didn't go so well for her as Kelly beat her to retain the title.
Then two years later they resumed hostilities in a traditional welterweight bout. You can argue this is the time when Hailey begun to find her elite level status as she absolutely battered Kelly. The younger lioness taking out the head of the pride with a brutal right hook that boomed on her chin and ended the night for Kelly with the sting of defeat.
For their third go around, neither exactly had dulled their hate towards the other. Even at the press conference they came very close to blows. Understandable when you have two women used to be the dominant force in the presence of other women.
Fight night and the crowd was electric I can tell you. Both women stepped into the ring ultra confident it would be them walking away with the JMDD diamond encrusted title bra. The first few blows between them showed the level of intensity that was about to come. The cracks of leather on flesh echoed out to the front row seats.
It was Kelly though who arguably looked in the finer form. Bashing back Hailey early with more punches coming from her then the blonde. Hailey came back strong in the third round before she found herself taking trip to the canvas in the fourth after being caught flush by a heavy right hand.
You can't keep a good woman down right? Hailey came back at Kelly with a venomous expression aimed at her challenger. Both women were simply beating each other down. Sweat coated their magnificent bodies as they exchanged on the inside more and more.
Kelly's stamina came to the fore or more to be precise her problems did. She clearly unloaded the tank trying to defeat the younger woman by more then a decade. Hailey rattled her with brutal shots, till first Kelly went down for a count of eight in round six. Moments later Kelly was put down again and simply didn't have the strength to stand. Being a JMDD fight; well you can guess how it ended afterwards.
There are two big questions from this bout. Should Kelly have maybe not threw everything at Hailey early? Well you can argue that Hailey might have bulldozed through her if she hadn't. The second question is about Hailey and her schedule. She has been defending both the BBU and FCBA JMDD titles the last several months, though she just lost the FCBA JMDD title to Kara Del Toro on Friday night. She is involved in the Diamond Boxing Tournament in the FCBA too. Is she burning herself out with all these fights she is taking on. She is arguably the best pound for pound fighter in all of celebrity female boxing but when does the track run out and it all catches up to her?

Part 2: BBU flyweight title bout - Zara Holland Vs Jorgie Porter Another rematch along with another title fight. This time the personal stakes were that both women used to be stalemates in the Kear's Kats stable. Jorgie of course in the past two years left to join the Glamour Boxing Academy stable. There was so much drama all written around this fight.
The last time they fought was in 2019. Zara was on her way up the rankings and Jorgie was struggling for consistency. Jorgie would be knocked out early in the bout as Zara showcased her power, along with proving that she was the future face of the Kear's Kats. She would further add to that notion by winning the BBU flyweight title two years after.
While Jorgie of course has found real momentum and an aura of confidence with the Glamour Boxing Academy. Winning the title from Holly Hagan last year. She has went on a great run and looked unstoppable. Would Zara though break that confidence?
They stepped into the ring with Jorgie not looking too worried by her rival. Zara certainly looked to test that confidence with her power shots. Pushing back Jorgie but not quite landing flush with some of her haymakers. Jorgie on the other hand came back at her in the second with double jabs and good footwork to show she wouldn't wilt so easily.
Back and forth they went as the clash of styles were firmly on show. Jorgie sticking and moving, at times making Zara look dumb as the younger woman swung in hooks that found only thin air. Zara was at her most impressive when she is able to pressure Jorgie towards the ropes and towards corners.
Things took a bad turn for Jorgie as she got hammered back during the sixth round. She started to look worried as Zara was breaking through that veil of confidence. Her coach needed to tell her to get her head back into the fight before she'd simply be blasted out like the first fight between them.
Jorgie certainly took those words to heart as she came flying out to resume in the seventh. Zara looked caught cold by that, leading to her getting hurt as this was becoming a real war of attrition. Leading to one fighter wilting in the eighth, a right hook sent the loser down to her back... With Jorgie Porter standing tall over her former stablemate, with the title returning home to her.
The champion looks like she has found the tools mentally as well as physically to be a true elite fighter. Jorgie was known as a good silky smooth boxer but would at times be blown over by a strong breeze. You certainly can not say that about her now, there is an iron will there!
Zara meanwhile can't take this loss to heart. In fact she very well could become a champion again if she learns from this defeat. She needs to learn to close the ring off better or maybe it was arrogance on her part. She has proven that she can be a real champion, let's see if she can do it again.

Part 3: Dua Lipa Vs Jodie Comer On a big undercard full of amazing bouts, we had two British fighters who have become stars around the world. Dua Lipa of course with her singing, Jodie with her acting. In the ring Dua has been swimming with the big fighters in the FCBA the past few years. Jodie undefeated on both sides of the pond. Which one emerged on top?
There was a respectful atmosphere between them in the build up. Of course when the two women stepped into the ring, things were more tense as they knew the task at hand wasn't going to be easy. Leading to an opening round where they felt each other out before they opened up.
While both have similar styles; Jodie was using more upper body movement to dodge and strike, Dua looked to use her slight height advantage to keep back Jodie. If you enjoy boxing skills over raw power, this was a bout for you.
The real drama started in round five. Dua got caught with a straight onto her chin to push her to her heels, a left hook then sent down Dua down to her back. Dua pushed her way back to her feet at eight, needing to hold off an aggressive Jodie as the Liverpool lass wanted to end things there and then.
The sixth round saw Jodie make a mistake as she missed with a few big hooks. Dua showed her experience as she kept the distance where she wanted it, then pounded in a heavy right hook around the temple of Comer to hurt her. A barrage of punches hit the blonde to send her reeling back, till she finally went down to her back. This time Jodie couldn't find her way back to her feet.
This was a good clash but for Jodie; she got a little rude awakening of what this level can be like. One mistake can be fatal. Dua meanwhile will be looking to win a world title after chasing one down for the past several years. Could she maybe focus on the BBU lightweight title?
